Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 (UK)

The Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 is a UK law aimed at enhancing the country’s ability to prevent and respond to terrorism. It grants authorities more powers, such as the ability to stop people from leaving the UK to fight abroad and allows for the sharing of information between various agencies. The Act also outlines measures to support individuals at risk of being radicalized. In essence, it strengthens national security while balancing the need to protect civil liberties.
